Tuonetar
Tuonetar (Twon-etar), in Finnish mythology, is the Queen of the Underworld.
She is the daughter, or wife, (or both) of Tuoni, with whom she rules over the Underworld, Tuonela. Also, when the dead arrive to their kingdom, they are their kind hosts and are delighted to offer their guests a tankard full of frogs and worms.
She is recognized as the Virgin of Death and the godess of the subterranean worlds. She is also the sister of Kipu-Tytto and Luhi.
